Babylon

In the cradle of
Mesopotamia Babylon to Baghdad

Ancient ruins between rivers
flows the Tigris and Euphrates
all you've heard
your whole life stirred by Hades
but to see it here now
with your own eyes
for the first time
at the banks of
a distant history
filling the footsteps
of an ancient future
authoring by my own hand
passages of a living encyclopedia.
